In Week 3 of the 2022 season, the Dallas Cowboys scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and beat the Giants, 23-16, thanks to WR CeeDee Lamb‘s go-ahead, one-handed touchdown grab.

We always talk about when we are playing in the red zone, make sure that they throw it to the back pylon, which they did, you don’t want to have anything cross your face or be anything in…
